The stakes have never been this high before. One caveat though - you might just lose everything you own if you take a nosedive over the side of one of the many hairpin turns. Getting out of the way of the cops, this perilous route is used by the denizens of the street racing lifestyle to settle beefs and win territory. The area of the city known as Carbon Canyon is where the action is played out once your reputation is on the line. As their names suggest, these guys can help out with upgrading your rides, tricking them out for appearance's sake and also getting you out of trouble with the local law enforcement agencies.īut the big hook in Need for Speed Carbon is the inclusion of the canyon duels. There are initially three different types of crew members: mechanics, fabricators and fixers. Along the way, you'll be able to form up your own "crew" of racers, which adds one of the new dynamics to the gameplay. You'll need to cruise around a large city - which is split up into multiple districts and a couple of new canyon courses - and earn a name for yourself on the street. The core of the game revolves around you starting out at the bottom of the underground street racing pile. At the recent EA games event in Redwood Shores, I got to sit down and check out the 360 version first-hand, and was also privy to a brief glimpse of the work-in-progress PS3 version. This time around, we're looking at the new Need for Speed Carbon, which is hitting a plethora of platforms in the fall, including the PS3 and 360.
Morphing most recently into a method of delivering some fairly stylish underground street racing, the last effort - Need for Speed Most Wanted - reintroduced the cop-chasing element with style. EA's venerable Need for Speed franchise has been around for quite a number of years now.
